My face fell but not too low
I wasn’t ashamed
It’s only how you look when you can’t explain
You say something true
But it only makes sense to you
What was important was a mistake I’d never do again

There’s something you want me to say
You said I didn’t love you enough
It’s not what you think because life is so hard
I thought about what time would bring
Did I do the right thing?
I can’t prove how I felt or how I’m scarred

There’s a cloud over your head now
Blue skies don’t always wear make-up
You told me then you showed me and now I know
I never thought you would
You proved to me you could
I wonder if five years is enough to pay the debt I owe
